Hey there,

I've made some good progress on my IG army and wanted to show you what I've got so far.

The theme is tundra/winter based, also a bit valhallan but more modern. The backstory is not finished yet but they come from a nomadic and harsh temperated planet, thus having to be mobile and self sufficient for longer periods of time.
The models are modified with headswaps and greenstuff to represent fur collars, blanket rolls and hoods.

They look ace!

Thanks for sharing, everything is really good, from the plasma with osl, the infantry and the weathering.

2 questions:

Love the heads on the officers, where are they from?

How did you do the weathering as it is top notch, most obviously on the crashed lander.

PS. FYI nobody will comment if there are not pictures in the thread as people are lazy

Thanks for the advice and the commendations, I've added some images to the OP!

The weathering is made by using the hairspray method (brown primer -> hairspray -> blue primer) when you soak the blue paint with water you can scrap it off using a toothpick or something similar to get this effect! I also use pigments for the dustyness and some rust effects from AK interactive!

Great look winter weathered look, good job

Great Work on the customization of the Imperial Guard model miniatures! I like the color scheme You chose.

I enjoy seeing Winter themed Guard models.

The Valkyrie has some really nice weathering effects on it.

I look forward to seeing the massed army. It is probably going to take You a minute to do all the custom modeling & get everything painted.

If this is just the beginning it is a fantastic start!

Pretty cool - they look the part.

Nicely done themed army. The heads really look the part!

Great work! They make me cold just looking at them.

Thanks alot to all of you! I've assembeled around 1000 points so far, working on some mortars, more infantry, eversor and a leman russ at the moment!

I recently finished my custom built Eversor Assassin:

Solid, thematic work. I really like the glow effects and the conversions. Also, that valkyrie looks fantastic.

These look awesome! Made me want to make one myself.now...

Winter is Here! Awesome job.

Thanks alot! I've been buisy over the weekend, here are some 3rd party models for my psyker and ministorum priest:

Those are aggressively excellent! They remind me a bit of the rebel troops on Hoth. All around excellent job.

Thanks! I got some Sentinel- suppport now!

Very nice-- a subdued paint job and some new heads goes a really long way in salvaging the line, and those collars work well.

Thanks, next up: My Leman Russ Tank Commander
